Have at it friends. Here are my picks. Sorry in advance for the apathy; I'm pretty sure most of these matches will be good, but this show is definitely a stop but not a destination.
Kevin Owens d. Seth Rollins: Owens vs. Jericho is coming, and I don't know what the next title program would be if Rollins wins.
Sasha Banks d. Charlotte: This feud needs a break, and that can't happen if there's another title change and rematch coming.
Roman Reigns d. Rusev: See above.
Brian Kendrick d. TJ Perkins: I’m not sure about this one, but I didn’t pick any other title changes.
The New Day d. Cesaro and Sheamus: Cesaro and Sheamus eventually end up with the belts, but not for another 50 or so days after they break the Demolition record.
Gallows and Anderson d. Enzo and Cass: Unless this is an intentional and bona fide “burial”, Doc and Karl really need a win.
And two possible matches not currently on the Wikipedia page:
Braun Strowman d. Sami Zayn: Zayn gets destroyed. If he wins, it’s a “beatdown DQ” with Strowman standing tall and Sami laid out.
Bayley d. Dana Brooke: Bayley wins and moves on to Charlotte.

I have the exact same predictions as you. Maybe Enzo and Cass get the win. But that would be the only change I might make.

Maybe we'll get the finger poke of doom for the Perkins/Kendrick match!

Reigns/Rusev will be stiff Owens/Rollins will be a stunt show Sasha/Charlotte may have blood One thing I see online is the finger poke being used as actual angles, not saying the one here was an actual pitch, just saying I see that alot......the death knell in WCW being pitched for today's product because.....  ? |

I agree with all those predictions. I also think all the Cell matches will be pretty good. I also want it to be end to all 3 of those feuds, like the cell is meant to be.

Same predictions as OP. I'm hoping there's enough differentiation between the 3 Cell matches. I want Roman & Rusev to continue their HOSS warfare and just beat the crap out of each other for 15 minutes.
I'm really cold on Owens/Rollins. Seth has been mishandled from the moment he returned from injury and KO has been on the back burner since winning the title. Jericho should help keep this one interesting but I think we all know Owens is walking out with the title.
Charlotte vs Sasha has the most intrigue for me. From the placement on the card to wondering what memorable spots they'll try to pull off, I'm looking forward to this match. Like many people have said, there's no way Sasha should've won the title on Raw a few weeks ago with a show in Boston right around the corner. WWE's week-to-week, long-term booking is horrendous.

The Toronto FC game takes priority for me tomorrow night so I'll be catching the first hour on replay, but I'll be here for the rest of the show live if anyone wants to chat here about the show.

"Get a fucking haircut, hippy" has been the highlight of the night thus far.
Edit: Sasha/Charlotte did really well to convey the brutality of it all, and it was the only one of the night had the cell aura of yore, but fuck me if I wasn't half-baffled by it. Like, why the stretcher gig if Sasha's just gonna lose anyway?

Outside of Bayley/Dana Brooke......all the matches delivered.
Well the CW title match lost the crowd, further cementing my opinion on WWE fans not being the same as a hardcore fan with their likes and dislikes.
Mainevent delivered, a few botches but I'm not gonna play Meltzer and act like I'm judging gymnastics.
I liked the visual of Sasha crumbling off that table in the corner and eating natural selection......I read complaints about the finish, but are we being serious? The better performer has the title now.

Shit finishes throughout the second half of the show. And way to much telegraphed shit. The Kendick/TJP ending and Sasha coming off the stretcher. The finish to the main event was really anticlimactic. Came completely out of nowhere, and not in a good way.
Didn't watch the new post match show. Would have gone in a total rage if Lita even once said "the women made history and stole the show"

One thing I'd like to get off my chest.....I don't want to hear about Superman booking ever again if we don't bring up the fact that Seth Rollins was beating up the current champion and a 6x champion convincingly for more than 5 minutes.
Even Superman sold for the Zod squad.

I thought the main event - and the Charlotte/Sasha rivalry in general - featured a lot of "checking boxes" and not a lot of "feuding". I feel like it was an impression of a Hell in a Cell match running down all of the greatest hits. These two women are more than capable of having an incredible Hell in a Cell match without being forced to represent their entire gender.
I also think they're trying to hotshot Charlotte toward having a ridiculous number of title reigns like her old man... and she's going to end up with eight reigns in like 22 months with none of them spanning more than 90-120 days.

Also, did this show make anybody else dread what's going to happen at TLC in December? Despite how much I love thinking about the words "AJ Styles" and "Ladder Match" in the same sentence, I'm all gimmick-matched out right now.

Womens match was fine, they worked hard and their entire rivalry is based off "being the best and making history" so that aspect being pushed makes more sense than anyone are giving it.
They're chasing history.......Sammy Sosa and Mark Maguire weren't beating each other up or shit talking.
